:::A tall blonde woman appears seated at a table in the brink. Her eyes are vapid, and unfocused. She continues to stare off into space for a few moments, but she soon realizes that something is amiss:::
:::She gasps, and her nervous eyes dart from side to side. Her heart begins to beat irregularly:::
It's happening again...
:::She spoke with a voice that the Brink needed enough to do this to her:::
I'm dreaming awake...

:::Cora sat still and waited patiently for it to go away, for someone real to disrupt her, and bring her back to reality one more time...but the moment didn't come:::
:::When she couldn't sit still any longer, she turned her head to one side, and saw the bar. She staired at it for quite some time. When she worked up the nerve, she looked in the opposite direction and saw the keys, and the door:::
:::A long time of silence passed, and she finally pushed herself out of her seat. She decided to walk over to the bar. She was apprehensive, but reached out and touched a glass. It was solid, so she picked it up, and looked at it:::
:::What am I doing to myself...?
:::She put the glass down and walked a little more freely to the keys:::

:::She ran her fingers over the keys slowly, and saw all the names glimmer as the shook. Seeing them that way almost made her want to cry, but she'd stopped doing that for over a year now. It would go away soon, she kept telling herself:::

** Enter Bard **
*Bard appears in mid-stride. Seeing he's in the Brink he turns to go directly to the door and sees...*
Cora!
((Is Cora naked?))

:::Cora spins in place, and looks directly at the first person to call her by her name in over two years:::
:::She turns pale, as though she's seeing a ghost. She'd dreamt of this place before...but no one else was ever there...she was sure of it. She was finally going mad:::
((No, but my Avi is because Gaia is going crazy. Gaia made my avi's eyes green too...))

*Bard takes a step forward and laughs a bit nervously* Cora, you're back.. your hair is the way it used to be and... *of course she still looked strange somehow... but he doesn't know just what*
Cora.. are you all right? The last time I saw you...

:::Her breath trickled passed her lips as they quivered... She took a step closer to Bard. He was so real, and his voice was so clear:::
:::She reached out with her left hand, as though she wanted to touch him to make sure it was real...but the moment she thought that it was possible, she pulled it back. He would disappear if she touched him, she shouldn't have gotten her hopes up. She put her palms to her temples and shook her head:::

:::When she feels his touch she opens her eyes. She stays very still, petrified, and tries to contemplate what's happening. It was real. His hand was actually there. HE was actually there.
She slowly moved her opposite hand to touch his...and when he didn't disappear, tears began to form at the corners of her eyes:::
Bard..? Is it you?

:::He gives her the first smile she's seen in so long, and it's more amazing than her imagination could possibly have conjured...it had to be real:::
:::She begins to laugh as the tears finally roll down her face. Cora throws her arms around him, the way she'd dreamt about it almost every night since:::
Bard!!

Cora... I can't tell you how good it is to have you here right now.

:::Her voice is a bit muffled in his shoulder:::
Bard! Bard!! I can't believe it, it's finally real. I'm back!! Bard! I've hoped for this every second since I've been gone. Please!! Please let it be real this time!!
:::He tone was a mixture of joy and fear, she wasn't crying, so much as tears just kept coming:::

If it isn't real then I'm just as insane as you are.
